India Reviews Proposal to Force Smartphone Location Tracking, Faced with Opposition from Apple, Google, and Samsung

India's government is reviewing a proposal to force smartphone firms to enable satellite location tracking, which Apple, Google, and Samsung oppose due to privacy concerns. The proposal aims to provide precise user locations for investigations, but the industry has raised concerns about potential snooping and the lack of user consent. A-GPS technology, which uses satellite signals and cellular data, could provide authorities with location data precise enough to track a user to within a meter.
